Here is a site with a good message:
In essence you might say we believe in utopia. The idea of a perfect society where people, nature and technology live in harmony. True, people will never agree on the final shape and structure an utopian culture should take, but the concept of trying to achieve somethingbetter than what we already have is still the same. After all, what is the point of life if not to improve the world around us? |
I saw this the other day when I was feeling depressed. It made sense to me. It helped me re-focus. I then sent it to a 20 year old university student in Estonia who had written to me a few days earlier. She said she thought sucide was the only solution. She asked "What is the point to anything?". She wrote back and said this made sense to her too.
I contacted the site owner, Charles Moffat and let him know that it helped both of us. He wrote back and since then we have corresponded a few more times.
